that is a male. Females don't have balls..
I have kept many rats in the past, both sexes included. If it's a male, you can definately tell. If you have to guess whether it's male or female, it's a female.

Congrats on your new little guy! Males do get quite a bit larger than females, but I find them to be more placid. Rats make awesome pets

LOL you haven't met my rats!  150+ rats I don't have time to socialize them (nor do I want to get to know what I have to kill  ). Half of them squeal and freak right out and try to bite if I try to pick them up mid-section, but when I transfer from tub to tub by tail they just hang. Wouldn't recommend doing it for an extended time however, can't be terribly comfortable! Only rats I hold mid body are babies/young and my two pet rats.

Btw there is NO time at all
For sure they are cute animals but me neither want to get to know me well. Who knows if there isn't a rat mafia and finaly meet "Tony the Italian ratman" waiting for me round the corner to whack me down??

yeah well if snakemann only has a few breeding rats then i guess he will have the time to socialize!
i'd love to cuddle 150 rats in a day! you should charge people to do it! lol
i thought it looked a little bit male..... but i also thought it may just be because of holding it by the tail...... oh well! looks like your off to buy a female then!

Yes, medium would be good, at least with that you'll know she's young. After the birth of her first litter and if the male is still with her he'll breed shortly after with her again. She'll be constantly pregnant. Which will be lot's of rat pinks for you

... In that first pic, is his tail ok? It looks all bloody and raw. It might just be the pic, though. I'm getting some rats probably this week too. They make sweet pets.

Hi Snakemann! You did good! she looks more like a large but she looks to be in really good condition. You should get some babies in about 21 days from now!! I bet she gives you 12, they are both very cute!! do you see a difference in the sexes now?? Easy huh? I'm glad I could help, let me know if you get little ones!
Squeeling, well he's probably getting to know her

Yay congrats the new rats
But...um.... Snakeman, I dont mean to nag or nit-pick....but... you do realize that your male is missing the skin off of the tip of his tail. Please tell me you choped off that bit of bone exposed
blech.
Ive had that happen a twice while was holding rats by the tail. It realy freaked me out the first time.
